Mr.. Callard two questions: Has he suf-
hciently Investigated both sides Of the
question to speak by the card on the

Eighteen years ago when the air-brake
was tried It required eighteen seconds to

years later the time was reduced four

CHICAGO, March 9.-The Times says
that revival of what is known as the
Beale claim to about seventy million
acres of land in what is called the Pan
Handle district. embraced in Texas,
New Mexico and Colorado, eccasioned
a little talk in the city because of the
interest in portion Of the territory
mentioned owned by G. Il. Farwell and
his associates, who received three mill
lion acres from the state of Texas for
erecting a capitol building. Farwell
stated TO reporter that the
alleged claimants 10 this land
had not the slightest foundation
for asserting title to the property,
there never having been any grant from
the Mexican government TO Beale for
land. Said Farwell: ''B. G.. Jayne, who
is engineering the scheme for a syndi-
cate, offered to quit claim to us his
alleged interest in the three million
acres embraced in our grant from the
state of Texas for the sum of SIS, COO,

The b. 20. Change. H.nas.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The Times
says it is authorized TO announce that
the control of the Baltimore g. Ohio
railroad company has passed into the
hands of Alfred Sully of New York.
Negotiations with President Robert
Garrett have been in progress for some
time, and yesterday and late into last
night there were important meetings
relative to the transaction. To-day
Sully will be able to show in Wall
street written contract. by virtue of
which Carrot puts him in possession of
this vast system. This is the great
est, and bids fair to be the
most influential railway deal
that has taken place in this country
within many years. The possibilities
of this new control is beyond eS-
timation. By the requirement of the
Baltimore & Ohio road, SuIly and his
friends become controllers of what is
probably the most extensive railway
system in the world. 1t stretches for
New York almost to the uttermost
parts of the south, and far into the
west. 1t includes the central rail-
road of New Jersey, Philadelphia,
| 81 Reading, Richmond Terminal and
the Richmond s. Danville properties.
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
lines, the Central railroad of Georgia.
and now last of all the Baltimore g
Ohio. and all of these properties are to
| be made one great trunk line with
/ 80 miles OF track.

STRANGE FATE OF SHIPS AND MASTERS.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The steam
ship OZama, Captain Kelley, which ar
rived yesterday from San Domingo, re-
ports that the German Bark ''ArgO;"
last from st. Thomas, went on the rocks
under Fort Pichlet. and became total
wreck. The Argos unlucky voyage
was peculiarly fatal to her shippers.
Captain Stitch died on the passage
from Dangson to Rio de Jenireo;
his mate assumed control and
died in Rio de JanireO; the second
officer then took charge of the vessel.
Two Captains had died on board in one
voyage. The sailors. naturally super
stitiOus, began to think fate had
marked the bark and her commander
for destruction. Day after day of
pleasant voyage up the coast passed;
storms seemed unknOwnand they re-
covered their wOnted spirits. When
Cape TIaytien came into view, ON Feb
rHaTy IL, the Captain stood at the
wheel. Suddenly there was "a bump,
a grinding and wrenching which told
that the Argo was on the rocks. She
the third and final tragedy of
the Argos last voyage was enacted.
The Captain rushed below and return
ing with Il revolver in his hand. leaped
to the rail. placed the revolver to his
head, fired. and with cry toppled
overheard. No trace OF his body was
seen again. AS soon as the crew re-
covered from the horror, they took to
the boats and rowed ashore. Hardly
had they landed when looking back
they saw the Argo glide off
the rocks with all sails set and no one
aboard. For half-hour she cruised
about the harbOr and then struck the
rocks again, this time to stay until
broken up. The crew returned to Ger

lately of Boston. has Joined the Amer

a formula for manufacturing an arti-

wild orgies al Mrs. Neebe,s Bier.

CHICAGO, March S.-There was a re-
markable scene this afternoon at the
bier of the dead wife of An
archist Neebe. While the room was
filled with sympathiZers of both sexes,
a blonde, little woman bent over the
coffin, and burst into loud
lamentations; with clasped hands and
streaming eyes she shrieked "They
murdered her; She was murdered by
those hangmen. hGrinnel and
Gary were her executieners. She is in
her coffin; her husband in Jail, both
victims of the capitalistic blood
hounds" The people present became
highly wrought up and during the re-
mainder of the day in the
death chamber there was no cOnsola-
ton of curses against those
'.hangmen. The sidewalk in front of
Neebe's house was crowded with ex-
cited people. \ committee had been
formed to make arrangements
for the funeral, and they decided to
postpone it if possible, until Sunday
and make it the occasion of a socialis-
tic demonstration.
